A fantastic opportunity to experience the spectacular Pyrenees mountains on a tailor-made day excursion from Barcelona. First stop is Vic, a beautifully maintained historical town, before heading on to the stunning stone-built village of Queralbs. From here you can catch the rack railway high into the Pyrenees, where you will have the chance to spend the rest of the day exploring Vall De Nuria, a sanctuary of natural beauty and mountain grandeur.

For those with experience of mountain walking, good walking shoes and a good level of fitness, the guide will accompany you down the mountain (3 hour walk).

For those who prefer to explore Nuria, the guide will agree the latest train to be taken back to Queralbs to join the group.

This tour costs €67 per person (which includes transport, guide, rail ticket to and from Nuria but does not include lunch).

There are a number of restaurants on Nuria, with different price points. Alternatively you can buy a picnic in Vic and bring it with you.

Tarragona is the old Roman capital of Iberia. Travel back in time and retrace the footsteps of Roman gladiators where chariots raced by and walk across the magnificent Roman aqueduct. See the Old Quarter with its stunning cathedral. Then visit Roc de Sant Gaieta, a tiny Mediterranean village with its mix of Ibizan fishing houses, Seville-style patios and Roman-Greco influence. Finally, you will travel to Sitges to discover the Mediterranean atmosphere of this old fishing village with its shady streets, traditional houses, over a dozen beaches, cosmopolitan bars and restaurants.

This tour costs €57 per person (which includes transport and guide, but does not include lunch).

For those who have flights home on Sunday evening, there is a half-day optional tour of Barcelona.

The visit will start where everything began, in the oldest area of Barcelona: the Barri Gotic. Over 1 1/2 hours we will have the opportunity to discover some of the most impressive medieval buildings in the Gothic area.

We will then head to the Barceloneta, which was once an old fisherman's village and is now most famous for being part of the 'seaside' area of Barcelona and one of the most popular 'Barrios'. Here we will have time for coffee while we enjoy the views over the blue Mediterranean.

After coffee we will drive to Montjuïc, the mountain dominating the city which also hosts the old castle. Here it will be possible to get a quick sandwich before continuing our tour.

Afterwards, we will drive up 'Las Ramblas', perhaps the most famous street in Barcelona, before heading to Passeig de Gracia, where we will discover the modernist part of the city passing by the Pedrera and Casa Batllo. Here you will learn more about the history of the 'Eixample' district, the neighbourhood that symbolizes the golden age of Catalunya. We will also stop at the Sagrada Familia and at the Hospital de Santes Creus a jewel of the modernist era forgotten by most visitors.

Finally, we will drive to the top of Tibidabo mountain where you can enjoy magnificent views of the city and have a final overview of Barcelona and all of the places you have visited during the day.

This tour costs €25 per person (which includes transport and guide, but does not include lunch).
